Episode 11 — Run privacy incident management with clear triggers, evidence, and remediation flow (Domain 1B-3 Incident Management)
This episode explains privacy incident management as an operational process with defined triggers, repeatable handling steps, and evidence that supports both remediation and accountability. You’ll learn how to distinguish a privacy incident from a general security event, how to set severity criteria based on the type of personal information involved, and how to preserve decision quality when facts are incomplete early on. We’ll connect incident response phases to privacy outcomes, including containment that limits further collection or disclosure, analysis that identifies data elements and impacted populations, and remediation that prevents recurrence through control changes rather than policy reminders. You’ll also practice exam-style scenarios such as misdirected communications, unauthorized vendor access, logging over-collection, or retention failures, focusing on the “next best action” that stabilizes risk while building a defensible record.
